Chapter 95: Carp
On this day, the sun was shining, and the sky that had been overcast for a week finally cleared, and the warm sunlight added warmth to this cold season.
On the drying field at the entrance of the ancestral hall, rows of shelves are erected, which are full of fish, meat, and whole chickens and ducks processed and made by the villagers during this time, which is very spectacular.
The neat aunts in the village were sitting on the side to kill fish, and a fish was scooped up, slapped on the back of the knife, picked up the fainted fish, scraped the scales and belly, dug out the internal organs and gills, and threw them in the basin on the side.
The processed fish is moved aside to be washed, drained and transported to a kitchen board where pots of snow-white salt are placed.
The villager in charge of salting took a knife to cut a few holes in the fish, grabbed the salt in the basin with his gloved hands, and evenly spread it on the fish, until it was stained with salt inside and out, and threw it aside.
At this time, someone will come and put the marinated fish neatly in the jar, let it sit for a few days, and then take it out and hang it in the vent to dry.
A few cats squatted anxiously next to the fish, and as soon as the internal organs were thrown aside, the cats rushed up.
Those who grab it squat aside with the loot in their mouths and eat quietly, and those who don't grab it will meow eagerly.
The upset aunts who were noisy would laugh and curse a few words, and then throw out a few small fish to the meowing cat.
"So many fish?" Qingli, who was bored at home, decided to come to the ancestral hall for a stroll, and when she saw the fish on the drying ground, she opened her mouth wide in surprise.
The fish in the basin and the bag are thousands of catties, which is to say that all the fish in the river have been fished?
"Haha. It's not much, we've only been netting twice, and we've caught so much. The village chief next to him who was sorting out the fishing nets said with a smile.
"I don't know what's going on this year. There are a lot more fish than last year. Dongzi, who went to fish, took a cigarette in his mouth, thinking of the crackling and dancing fish when the fishing net was pulled up, with doubts on his face.
In previous years, there were more fish, but not as many as this year, and this year the two nets were pulled up so much faster, and last year there were at least several nets to have so many.
"It seems to be. There are also a lot of big fish, by the way, Lili, to show you a good thing. "The construction mysteriously brought out a large wooden basin from under the belly of the table. Beckoned to Qingli to go over and look.
"What is so mysterious!" Qingli, who was aroused, walked over in a few steps, and when she saw the things in the basin, she couldn't speak with her mouth open, and her eyes were full of amazement.
"How? Isn't it beautiful? "Light a cigarette. The tone of the construction was full of slurze.
Pretty. It's so beautiful, she's never seen such a beautiful carp when she's grown so big.
In the basin, a golden-red carp is leisurely swinging its tail, and a thin layer of light yarn on the tail wing is shining from dark to light color, under the refraction of the sun, the waves are sparkling, beautiful, and the human eye is reluctant to blink.
The scales on the fish's body are as big as her tiny fingernails. The scales shone like stars in the middle of the night. Mysterious, unpredictable.
The most eye-catching thing is a lump of flesh on the back of this fish, like a blooming peony, and even the layers of petals on it can be seen clearly.
When the fish swims, the ripples on the water surface are refracted by the sunlight, making this peony seem to be alive, with a thousand postures and changes.
Looking at this gorgeous peony, Qingli remembered (Huayan Sutra): the Buddha native five-colored stem, a flower and a world, and a leaf as it comes.
Isn't the lump on the back of the fish the world of this peony?
Nature is really magical, and it takes a lot of chance to make a lump of flesh grow into a gorgeous peony!
No, such a stunning view must be photographed and shared.
Thinking of this, Qingli ran in the direction of home, "Uncle Jianjian, this fish is good, I'll go get the camera, don't let the cat eat it, it's very valuable." ”
I remember that goldfish of slightly better varieties are sold very expensive, and the price of this naturally grown carp should not be low.
A single carp may not be worth much, but the peony on the back of the carp is worth a lot.
Peony is known as the king of flowers, carp since ancient times there is a legend of the fish leaping over the dragon gate, these two into one, is not just one plus one as simple.
Once uploaded, Qingli can think of how big a gimmick it will cause.
Jianshe stared at the fish in the water, and the cigarette in her mouth fell into the basin with a slight sound when she was frightened by Qingli's sudden throat.
Later, when I heard her say that the fish was valuable, I hurriedly scooped up the cigarette butts in the water.
Looking at the soot sinking in the water, the construction hurriedly changed the basin of clean water.
When everything was busy, he stared at the fish swimming leisurely in the water in a daze, full of paste.
Is this fish worth a lot? Isn't it just a carp?
Although this fish is a little more beautiful and has a flower, it is still a fish!
How is it worth it?
Thinking of this, Jianshe raised his head and looked at Dongzi who came to see the fish, and they asked, "Lili said that this fish is valuable, did you hear?" ”
"I hear you, but how is this fish valuable?" Nodding, Dongzi carefully looked at the fish in the basin, wondering where the fish was valuable.
"Do you think this fish can be sold for fifty?" In Tohisa's heart, a fish is worth a lot of money when sold for fifty.
Cut~
A few people shushed Dongjiu, fifty must be more than that, Lili said that this fish is worth it, why not more than fifty!
Several people were reluctant to blink at the fish in the basin, and after a long time, Zhen'an scratched his head and said, "I think this fish can be sold for a hundred, what do you think?" ”
"Pull it down, a hundred is worth it?"
"That's it, the point is that Lili said it's worth a lot of money, and a hundred is worth a fart."
"How much is that worth?"
Yes, how much is worth something, hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands
Squatting in front of the basin, several people fell into deep thought.
Qingli, who hurriedly ran back, didn't know that after she left, a few people in front of the basin stared at the fish's discussion.
Pedal pedal ~
The sound of Qingli running up and down disturbed several people who were busy with everything, and Su Zhenbang walked out and saw Qingli holding a camera in his hand.
He was walking towards the door and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to the ancestral hall?" Why did you run back to get the camera? ”
Qingli's happy little face flushed, and when she heard the voice, she turned her head to look at a few people, and said happily, "Good thing." I'm going to take pictures, haha. ”
A few people looked at each other, what good thing can make this girl so happy?
Mo Yu walked over, held her hand and asked, "What good things?" ”
"Guess what I saw, a fish, a red carp with a peony on its back. It's pretty. Thinking of that beautiful fish, Qingli was happy.
A fish with a peony on its back, this is really unusual.
Several people looked at each other. Decided to go and check it out.
Thinking of this, Mo Wenzhi's eyes flashed with interest, and he said, "Let's go and see it with you." ”
"Okay, change your shoes. I'm sure you've never seen such a beautiful carp. "As soon as I heard it, the big guys wanted to go. Qingli nodded hurriedly and urged.
Mo Yu changed his shoes, took her hand and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go!" ”
Seeing that grandpa and they had all changed their shoes and were waiting for her, Qingli grinned, took the camera in his hand, and walked towards the ancestral hall with a few people.
Far away. Mo Wenzhi saw the shelves propped up on the drying field, which were full of things. Curiously asked, "What is this sun?" ”
"Chicken, duck and fish, the village plans to use this to make some money this year." Holding Mo Wenzhi, Qingli explained.
Last time, the village chief took a few people to the house, and I guess this is what I came for!
Mo Wenzhi nodded, and said approvingly, "Yes, this book is small, and it sells well, which is quite suitable for your village lane." ”
"Grandpa Mo also thinks there are market prospects?" Seeing that the old man felt good, Qingli asked happily.
Can she not be happy? There's her opinion here.
"There must be, why don't you have faith?" Patting Qingli's hand, Mo Wenzhi looked at her and asked kindly.
Qingli shook her head, with confidence and arrogance between her eyebrows, "I'm not worried, I'm confident in what our village has made."
Grandpa Mo has eaten so many good things, and he thinks that our bacon is delicious, and conquering an ordinary person is not a matter of being able to catch it.
What do you think? After speaking, Qingli winked at a few people, her face full of mischievousness.
Ha ha~
"You, little goblin." Several people were amused by Qingli's expression, and Mo Wenzhi nodded her forehead, her eyes full of smiles.
Mo Yu looked at Qingli's radiant eyes, pinched his palm, and wanted to go over and hug and kiss him.
This tsundere's little expression is so attractive, I like it!
"This girl was a goblin when she was a child, and once she wanted to eat crispy noodles, five cents a bag, she had no money, and she didn't say anything when she went home.
It happened that there was a meeting at that time, saying that only after working can we get paid, this girl remembered, and when she went home, she swept the floor and washed the dishes and clothes, and we were glad that she had grown up and was sensible.
Who knew that she stretched out her hand directly after she finished doing it, saying that she had worked hard and wanted to be paid.
She didn't want much, five cents, which made us cry and laugh, and then her father gave her a box of crispy noodles back. ”
Speaking of clear glass ghosts to Mo Wenzhi, Su Zhenbang was very proud.
The person he is most proud of in this life is not his son who died early, nor the well-behaved and sensible Lele and Xixi, but Qingli, the granddaughter who gave up her studies and shouldered the burden of the family.
Several people stared at Qingli in surprise, they couldn't see that this girl was so fun when she was a child, but it was a pity that they didn't have the opportunity to see it.
Looking at Qingli's red little face, Mo Yu felt that he could imagine what she looked like when she was a child.
It must be the same as now, beautiful, sensible and well-behaved, wearing a floral little dress, two pigtails, a red face, and black and shining eyes.
Holding a broom that is almost as tall as her, she swept the floor with a look at the board.
After sweeping, he stretched out his little hand and asked for money to buy crispy noodles.
Just thinking about it, Mo Yu felt that the girl at that time must be as attractive as she is now.
Why didn't he know this girl when he was a child, if he did, he would definitely buy crisp noodles for this girl every day and eat it until she gets tired of it.
Qingli, who was said to be a ghost, didn't care about everyone's teasing at all, so she smiled at Bojun, she was a very generous person.
A few people walked to the ancestral hall with a smile and a smile, and Dongzi, who had been squatting in front of the basin, saw a few people and shouted, "Lili is here, the old man is here." ”
As soon as he heard that the old man was also coming, the village chief hurriedly greeted him, "Uncle, Mr. Mo, you are here!" ”
"Let's come to see the excitement, I heard Lili say that there is a fish that grows flowers, we haven't seen it yet, I want to see it." Patting the village chief on the shoulder, Su Zhenbang said.
As soon as he heard about the fish with long flowers, the village chief was stunned, and then remembered the lump of flesh on the back of the fish and smiled.
Not to mention, the glass description is quite vivid, the layers are not like a flower!
"Haha, everyone has a good eye today, not to mention the fish that have been caught for so many years, it is the first time I have seen such a beautiful carp, let's go, go over and have a look."
The village chief, with a smile on his face, led the group to the basin.
As soon as they saw Old Man Mo appear, Dongjiu and the others automatically moved out of the way, so that a few people could watch carefully.
As for Qingli, holding the camera or squatting or standing to take pictures from a non-stop angle, the clicking sound and flash are endless.
When Mo Wenzhi saw the fish in the basin, Rao was well-informed, and he was also stunned.
This fish is perfect in terms of weight, color and shape.
In particular, the lump of flesh on the back, like the finishing touch, made the value of this fish multiply several times.
The price of a good variety of feng shui fish on the market is hundreds of thousands, and if this fish meets a person who believes in feng shui, it may be able to sell for 1.8 million.
Even he was a little moved. (To be continued......)
